The Los Angeles Chargers have signed coach Anthony Lynn to a multi-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Lynn was entering the final year of his current deal, so the extension serves as a measure of security as the Chargers are set to enter their new stadium this year.
Schefter reports that Lynn signed the extension shortly before the Super Bowl.
During his three seasons with the Bolts, Lynn has a 26-22 record, including one trip to the playoffs. The 2019 regular season marked Lynn’s first campaign under a .500 record.
Even though things didn’t go as anticipated for the Chargers this past season, it’s hard to fault the coaching staff after injuries to key players, including safety Derwin James, offensive tackle Russell Okung and tight end Hunter Henry depleted the roster right out the gate.
With the majority of the talent on roster staying intact and a good amount of salary cap space available to spend on free agents, there’s plenty of reason that Lynn and company can turn things around next season.
